RattleandHum1988

I'm pretty disappointed in Edge's contribution. I thought he'd sing or something, not just get out his sustainer and play a few notes that a novice guitar player could play. Upsetting.

I quote myself because there is a direct correlation between the Louis Vuitton campaign, their 49% stake of Edun and Edun producing cheaply in China - saying they produce ethical clothing, helping African workers to improve their situation.

I also mentioned what I do to engage myself in helping African people. So I actually go ahead and do something. There is no "instead of". Unfortunately I rarely meet heads of states, so my contribution is rather unnoticed.

You seem to agree with Bono's approach, so I'd be interested to know how you see the situation. For a start -
What's your position on the wages Edun pays it's African workers and on another note, the copyright on Aids and Malaria drugs?

When Edun renewed their website I also noticed that much was now made in china, which dissapointed me a lot. Before it was in mainly South American or African countries. Pity they went this way, I even emailed them why they produce now in china, but never got an answer. Has nothing to do anymore with ethical clothing. Made in china you can see anywhere

The performance of Unchained Melody is nothing but incredibly cheesy (and pretty mediocre in my opinion. In fact, it's as mediocre as moving), and Edge contributes with a fairly simple guitar solo, from 4:08 on.

cancer is a horrible disease, too many people die of it, it's not fair, I hate it.
